The Petitt Cup Playoffs will consist of three rounds beginning on August 6th and running through August 14th. Four teams will qualify to host a single-elimination playoff game on August 6th. The four teams will be selected by three first half divisional (North, South, West) champions and the team with the next-best overall winning percentage on the regular season of the remaining clubs. Thus far, Forest City, Outer Banks, and Fayetteville have earned first round home playoff games.

The remaining four teams will be comprised of three second half divisional champions and/or the teams with the next-highest overall winning percentages on the regular season. These teams will earn berths into the playoffs and will participate as away teams in the first round. (Note: If a club wins its respective divisional first or second half championship, then it will automatically earn a berth into the Petitt Cup Playoffs). Seeding will be based on overall winning percentage at the end of the season with the team with the best winning percentage earning the top seed and so forth.

After the first round, the four remaining teams will match-up based on seeds, so if the top four seeds all advance to the second round, then the series would be No.1 vs. No.4 and No.2 vs. No.3. The second round will be a best two-of-three series with game one being at the lowest seed's ballpark (i.e. No. 4) and then game two and three at the higher seed's ballpark (i.e. No. 1). The two winners of those second round series will advance to the Petitt Cup Championship Series with the same rules applying as in the second round. The team winning two games in this series will be crowned the 2009 Coastal Plain League Petitt Cup Champion.

*Tickets will be for sale by the host teams.
